Hi, I am working on pixel games. I did many assets without any problem .But i have a problem when i work with symmetry.  The symmetry doesnt work as it should be. Symmetry doesn't mirror perfecty. It paints other pixel lines. I can say that every 10 brushing for once it errors. Which is problem. I can transform after the half part done but why does symmetry exist ? I put an example.

Pixel art needs to be transformed using Nearest Neighbor interpolation.

Thank you for your answer. This should be done range of pixel.The mirror has to count -x/+x. Instance ; I divide the work area from 250 px. So i paint 245 px the answer of the mirror should be 255 px. If you make it 254 px then the calculation is all wrong. If the system is not working like that. Then system finds the nearest point to mirror. I believe this is wrong by my perciption.

Hi,

I make second post you to show symmetry has problem. It doesn't mirror right. I can say that it is %95 right , %5 false .%5 of problems are wrong placement , skipping the right square , adding color on wrong square and missing square. I have talked with technical service. He says that his photoshop is doing everything %100 right. I don't believe that. Because it makes the same with my other computer. I hope you can find the solution and feedback.

My computer;
windows 10
nvidia gt 1080
AMD Ryzen 7 3700x 
Photoshop 22.4.2

note: I had to use other programs. Because they make symmetry right. If you don't have solution for it.I would like to end of my sub.

Please do NOT split a question over different posts. It is very difficult for the volunteers to keep all your discussion together, and so you may lose the chance of a good question from a skilled person. Always REPLY to add more info.

We don't work for Adobe, by the way, we don't care whether you end your sub.

Well. I am doing this commend to "staff members" not to you. I am explaining the bug. I am not suggesting you to help about the bug. Who are you that trying to fix bug inside adobe programs ? Let me tell you something. You do your business and keep away from bug section. You cannot help anyone there unless you are the Adobe Engineer Member.
